Teen fashion is pretty serious business. The trends are erratic, spontaneous, anything but not constant. Teen age too is a precious time of life and the best time to look good. Studies reveal that teenagers are more knowledgeable about any fashion accessory that other age-wise clients.
Demand from this sector is high and continuous. A designer catering to teenage fashion wear promises himself a life of revolution and creative exploration. All teenagers are not rebels, they are just fashion conscious.
From ethnic to fusion and trendy western casuals, teenage is all about joy in vivid colours. Teenagers are hard pressed for time as they are always rushing from errands to coaching classes and regular schools. Thus they prefer something easy and comfortable. Their primary choice remains denims, jeans, washes in acid and stone. Corduroys fashions come and go. Teenagers go extremely creative about accessories. As we label it as funky wear, this is a booming industry in India. Trinkets form bracelets, beads, clasp nose rings, cluster earrings, fake tattoos, nail painting, henna and bindis.
Carefree attitude and the spirit of life is seen in mix and match wears, trendy jackets, stoles with tassels, bandanas, hair colour, faux fur trims on high boots and elbow pads in amazing hues. Shoes and belts are sensitive to fashion demands and gadgets are trendy. Skirts go from long, to flares and short skirts from knee length to white mini skirts. Blouses come in tank tops and off shoulders for bold looks and classy colours in lilac and fuchsia in georgette or satin for a little conservative. The idea is to understand the venue of your day and dress accordingly.
Ethnic wear for teenagers demands lot of invention. Lehengas and Ghagras come in various colours like emerald green, pool blue and be it gota, zari or embellishments in pearl, crystals or sequins, teenagers seem to need more! The demand is insatiable in fusion wear with embroidered suits for boys and jackets too. It is remarkable to notice the teenagers skin deep in tradition at any Indian festival or celebration.
Though western trends such as [http://www.japanesefashion.net]japanese fashion seem to influence teenagers in all walks of life, it is the effort of designers in balancing the ethnicity of Indian fashion. The next time you need the latest hair colour, be sure to ask a teenager!

Creativity - Key To Changing Fashion Trends
By Jennie Amit Gandhi
If you are born with an artistic mind then you are blessed. Creativity is an energy from within, which refreshes you and spreads enthusiasm around. Preserving this talent is essential. All of us pave our way to generate income for survival.
Somehow it's a truth that you are your best teacher. Formal education and degrees can be well sought but improvements are autonomous feelings. Supposing one is the best designer in town and has raked enough moolah with many fashion shows. You are a style guru and have your mantras. This is that peak in life which beckons you to empower yourself with more talents.
Fashion and design are brisk business centres. Style come and go and re-invent themselves. It is a gamut of business concerning clients and adhering to trends. To carve a niche is easy, to be a pioneer is achievable but to stay there is survival.
Get into the habit of reading books other than your ritual fashion magazines. Know the world, understand market trends and find potential in business areas. If textile is flourishing business, then diversify your current talent. Hone your skills in block printing and tie and die methods. Keep abreast of earlier fashion trends, watch for repetitions and know all about fabrics and weaving. Leave no room for excuses and lack of knowledge.
Leaf over your old sketches, suggest self-improvements, encourage new talents, learn from novices too. Invent colours and experiment with fall of fabrics. Make thematic business presentations viz. seasonal clothes, trousseau collection or 1st birthday celebration in kid apparels. In India the need for fashion is growing and a designer has much to explore.
Learn about knits and crochets, get down the basics of silk threads, adapt a new fabric to Indian seasons. Set a trend. Many times your ideas boomerang, but let that be a springboard for further self development. Practice your strokes, be international in your business and convey effectively.
Creative fields rush the adrenaline high to cause burn-outs. List your priorities and balance well. Network with people in difference streams, appreciate their views and imbibe them in your designs. Be keen to explore and try to learn something new often.

Mens Fashion Tips - 16 Fashion Tips All Men Should Read
By Alain Picard
Why should you be concerned of the way you look?
There are plenty of reasons! Dressing the part plays a major role in many aspects of your life. Think about your work, your romantic life and your day to day activities.
It's all about perception, I've seen many people get promoted simply due to the fact that they have always looked professional. Maybe looking professional didn't get them the job but at least it got them the interview! Most women also appreciate a man who knows how to dress, it makes them feel like their man is confident and accomplished. Perception is key in day to day activities and the way you dress has a huge impact on it.
It's a proven fact that it takes only 30 seconds for someone to make up their mind on what they think about you. Imagine if you look like a clown? I'm sure you get the picture.
We should all take advantage of this and make sure we look our best in our day to day activities in case we have a chance for that special promotion, in case we meet that special someone, or simply just to look and feel fantastic!
Here is a list of tips to help you and fashion mistakes to avoid!
1. Socks should match your pants. Easy as 1, 2, 3.
2. Belts should match your shoes. Not every one is color blind like you ;).
3. Never wear both a belt and suspenders. The combination makes you appear less confident - you big wuss.
4. Ties should reach your belt line. This is simply the rule. A short tie makes you look like a dufus.
5. Properly knotted ties have a "dimple" under the knot. Sort of like one of Mario Lopez's cheeks... Btw, Clips and tacks are out of date.
6. Your shoes should be clean, shined, repaired and appropriate for the occasion. If you are wearing a suit, wear lace-up shoes. Don't forget to keep shoetrees in your shoes when you're not wearing them.
7. Don't wear a short sleeve shirt in combination with a tie. Actually, never wear a short sleeve shirt period. People have the perception that short sleeve shirts are only worn by lower class people. You can wear one if you want to be a McDonald's manager, not if you want to exude a professional look.
8. The Button-Down collar dress shirt is simply not suitable for dressy formal wear nor with a double-breasted suit. Why? Well even though it's now a business classic during the day, it was originally a sport shirt worn by polo players.
9. Wear the right size pants ok? Pants are long enough if they have a slight break in the front. Pants should have enough length to cover up your socks, and your socks should be long enough to cover your shins even when you're legs are crossed. Pleats and cuffs both should be treated with respect. Pleats let you walk comfortably while looking professional and help a bigger man look great while cuffs will add weight to the bottoms of your pants sometimes giving them the perfect drape.
10. Socks with Sandals. Even if you live in Maine, don't do it - you'll look like a schmuck.
11. Chunky Shoes. Lose them, the Axel Rose era is over.
12. Backpacks. Alright, maybe this is just a minor mistake, but you're trying to climb the corporate ladder, not hike up mount everest.
13. Clashing or too many colors. Do you really want to look like a gay pride flag? Stick to complementary colors (those opposite from each other on the color wheel) or colors from the same pallet. You can find one on the web very easily by searching on google!
14. Ponytails. You're not the rock star of your office. Spend the 20$ for a haircut, you can afford it.
15. Too much jewelry. Put the jewelry away P. Diddy or should we call you Puff Daddy? If you want to wear jewelry, opt for a classy pair of [http://www.linkyourshirt.com/designer-cufflinks/cat_19.html]designer cufflinks.
16. Comb-overs. These shout insecurity. Shave it, lose it or cover it.
